I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday. Not too long until the next one...so remember that during your daily grind!
Blogging music is a random play list today - but the Sex Pistols just came on. I guess that one is pretty self explanatory.
So, now that the website has been updated to contain 2 portfolios of separate but related work, I definitely feel like I have a little more latitude - but not a ton. These two bodies of work still need to relate to each other, and to my own personal style that I've taken years to develop (no pun intended). I've shuffled the image order on the second portfolio (the non-painterly work) several times already, and even added an image today from 2010 that fits pretty well now. It's the image of the factory I posted way back then - maybe some of you die-hard fans remember, but if not - don't fret...just go to the site and look at it!
I have another image I did a while ago that I still like - but it doesn't fit into either group. You can't force a square peg into a round hole I guess. I think I posted this to the blog soon after I shot it as well - but here it is again:
What's so odd about it is that it contains many of the elements of my other work. It's kinda painterly in its look - similar to that group of work. And, it feels a little bit haunting to me - like much of the work included in the other portfolio. But, somehow, the way those elements are put together in this one has left it homeless. Do you guys agree? Let me know what you think - I suppose I could be swayed, but...
Otherwise, I've been exploring a bunch of exhibition opportunities - group shows mostly - but am still looking for a home for my work. An agent would be nice right about now...
Take care everyone!
